At night, Huang Xin leaned on the soft pillow in the room, and a maidservant knelt next to her, beating her legs. She didn't know whether the strength was not enough or because she was annoyed, so she kicked the girl aside and scolded her. Said: "You're useless, you can't do such a small thing well, I might as well raise a dog for you!"

The little maid didn't dare to refute, so she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her, "Miss, please calm down, I was wrong."

Huang's mother walked in carrying a basin. She was Huang Xin's nurturing mother and her wet nurse. She had an unusual status, so her words naturally carried some weight.

Seeing that the young lady lost her temper again, she sighed and shook her head, "Miss, you have to get over your temper, otherwise when will you be able to consummate your marriage with my uncle!"

"What's the relationship between these two things? Don't always confuse it, okay!" Huang Xin didn't agree at all. She had always had this temper and had been here for more than ten years, and now she said she wanted to change it. Can she change it? Besides, she was feeling suffocated and felt grievances, so why not let her vent?

Mother Huang put down the basin, twisted the towel and handed it over, and said earnestly: "Why doesn't it matter? My uncle is a warrior, and he likes gentle and virtuous women the most. You always confront him and annoy him. In the long run, even if you don't have that Village girl, there is no guarantee that my uncle will not find a lover outside. What will you do then? Kill him with a sword? If you kill one, he can still find another one. There are not many men who have long-term love. You But it's a good thing, not only did you not learn to win over, but you also pushed people away, giving outsiders an advantage in vain. So what's the point of forcing them to death and making noises about becoming a family member?"

Although Huang Xin knew that her mother was telling the truth, she was unconvinced and said angrily: "His life was saved by my father. He is a member of our Huang family. He will repay our family's kindness in this life and call him Marrying me was a blessing he had earned in three lifetimes. He should have knelt down to thank him, but it would have been better for him to sneak back and marry a wild girl from the countryside. You said... where did he leave me? I still have the honor to see him. Human? It’s not like you don’t know that everyone in Yancheng is laughing at me behind my back!"

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she became, almost crying.

Huang's mother felt sorry for her and comforted her: "My uncle doesn't understand the thoughts of his daughter's family. This is also a good thing. It means that my uncle is not a messy person, so you have to cherish it more. I asked someone to make a midnight snack and send someone to deliver it later." In the military camp, let’s just say it was made by the girl’s own hands.”

Huang Xin suddenly blushed, "This... can he believe it?"

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, as long as you have this heart, it's enough. Also, you can't be so picky about his brother Huo Lin tomorrow. He is just a country boy. He doesn't know any rules. You have to be nice to him. , he will also be able to stand on your side and speak good words for you in the future."

"Then I'll give him more money and ask someone to take him around," Huang Xin also listened to the advice. In the final analysis, she was too young mentally and was pampered by her family when she grew up. She had no etiquette in her bones. The concept of being alone, and the idea of ​​being the only one to be the best, led her to quarrel with and get angry at everyone she saw all day long, as if the whole world was against her.

Huang's mother was very pleased, "As long as Miss understands."

Both of them thought it was easy to please a country boy.

So Huang's mother called her son over, and Huang Xin gave him one hundred taels of silver and asked him to take Huo Lin to play in the city.

Mother Huang's son is called Hong Bajin. It is said that when he was born, he weighed eight kilograms, which made his mother miserable. However, this boy is also filial and does not respond to anything his mother says. Even his own daughter-in-law will do it. Gotta step aside.

Hong Bajin took the money with him and Huo Lin and left home. He was so excited!

"Master Huo, it's still early now, and all the fun things are in the afternoon and evening. How about I take you to take a bath first?"

"I don't..." Huo Lin originally wanted to sneak out and go find Shen Qing, but as soon as he opened his head, Hong Bajin grabbed his shoulder.

"Let's have breakfast first. I know a shop that makes the most authentic mutton soup. Let's go!" Hong Bajin couldn't help but drag him away.

When it comes to other things, he may not be very good.

But eating, drinking and having fun is something only individuals can do. I took a bath and rubbed my back in the morning, had noodles at noon, went to the garden to listen to a play in the afternoon, ate melon seeds, and flirted with the young lady waiting beside me. After dinner, I went to the gambling house to play a few games. This is not something you can indulge in. Otherwise, let alone a hundred taels, even a thousand taels would be gone in the blink of an eye.

Finally, of course, the highlight.

As soon as he looked at Huo Lin, he knew that he was still a young boy, so he hired two beautiful girls to eat meat for him in a second-class brothel in Yancheng that night.

Hong Bajin counted it silently in his mind and felt that there was nothing wrong with his arrangement. However, these one hundred taels of silver were only enough for one day's squandering. If you have wine today, you will get drunk today!
  If his master lets him take Mr. Huo to play tomorrow, he can ask them for money again.

What he thought was a good place had caused Huo Lin a lot of harm.

He felt like a top, being led from here to there by Hong Bajin, and then rushed from there to the next place in a hurry.

I took a shower and rubbed his back, making him scream and scream, wishing he could pass out. He turned around, his expression remained unchanged, and he was still able to fall asleep.

The lunch meal is a local specialty, hand-caught mutton, local purebred goat meat. If you don't use aniseed to remove the mutton, the smell will go straight to your forehead and be extremely spicy.

But when he looked at Hong Bajin, he actually cut off the fat and fat sheep tail oil without touching it with seasoning. He just put it to his mouth, sucked it, and then swallowed it. Suddenly he felt that his internal organs were churning, and there was no need for it. Eat enough.

After finally getting through lunch, he wanted to go back and rest, but he was dragged to the theater again.

He didn't understand a single word of what was being sung. It seemed to be in the local dialect. He sat there bored and just looked at the naughty little girl Hong Bajin. Hearing the naughty words made his scalp go numb and he felt like vomiting again.

At night, he was dragged into the gambling house again.

As soon as he lifted the curtain and stepped in with one leg, he was almost killed by the smoke in the sky.

Everyone here smokes dry cigarettes, which are very strong tobacco leaves. After taking a puff, you will feel as if you are burning incense and going to heaven.

There were also those gamblers who were shouting, madly roaring, cursing, and spitting. His head was dizzy from the noise, and he was going crazy.

Besides, it's even more nonsense at night.

Hong Bajin actually took him to visit a brothel and hired a prostitute for him.

It can be seen that he was used to the plain makeup of his sisters, but when he suddenly saw a woman with heavy makeup and a face that looked like a ghost, he thought he had seen a ghost, and the ghost wanted to take off his clothes. He was so frightened that he pushed the woman away and rushed out the door.

He ran out of the brothel in one breath and wandered around the streets without thinking.

There was a curfew in Yancheng at night, so of course he was put in jail and locked in a cold cell, freezing alive for most of the night. He was from the south and had not yet adapted to the cold in the north. If it were Hong Bajin, he would be frozen for the whole night. , it must be fine. (End of chapter)
